Happy Zito day! I, for one, predict five innings, 108 pitches, three earned runs, one strikeout, and a win.
And the winning Powerball numbers will be 3, 8, 112, 43.3, and §. I'm full of predictions today; just ask me.

Any word yet on who got sent down with Sadler being called up?
Eagerly awaiting Crazy Crab Bobblehead Night on 7/18.
Where did you hear this? My guess is Henny got sent down.

Story was here but there’s nothing yet on the Giants website about it. Guess Billy got excited and called his hometown paper first with the news.

I am a little frustrated today...
Besides the Zito start, we have a new IT tech. Guy’s a little worried about his job I guess. The first thing he did this morning, was to shut off any web streaming applications. So no gameday audio for me today at work.
So far no web/internet monitoring, so McC time should be safe…..Uh oh, gotta go. Someone is knocking on my office door :-)

It’s all up to you, Freddie.
Let’s not forget that every one of those players, except for Lewis and possibly Winn, is more SLG than OBP oriented, so OPS inflates their overall prowess considerably.
let us also...
not forget that Rich Aurillia is not likely to sniff 100 OPS+ ever again. Man, that lineup goes south in a hurry. -46?

If I were Sabean, I’d be ashamed. Ashamed that this is the best my vaunted farm system has to offer. Ashamed that it never occurred to me over the past couple years that maybe, just maybe, it might be wise to have a viable backup option to now-41-year-old Omar Vizquel. And ashamed that when Vizquel went down with his knee injury, I didn’t so much as lift a finger to find a major league ready shortstop to take Omar’s place.
I’d sure like to lift a finger.
That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!
I think that might be as hard as Bocock can hit it.

Yeesh, they pull their pitcher who was shutting us down for...
a guy with 14 walks in 14 innings?
Only 939 games until the end of Zito's contract
But of course
He’s facing the Giants. Quick 0-2 to Rowand.
Only 939 games until the end of Zito's contract
Don't worry he will strike out Rowand.

Aha
Krukow says he was pulled for pitch count – this is only Dumatrait’s second start after several relief appearances. Still building up arm strength.
Oh wait, that.
Not again.

I still have hope
I know we can score runs and we know the ‘Bucs bullpen blows.
14-18...could have been worse.
There is still hope...

Is that what we're calling the Giants now?
The Bucs?

The Giant's Bullpen does NOT blow
A lot of things blow, but don’t make stupid comments like that.

It still irritates me when anyone wears 22 for the Giants post-Will Clark. I should probably get over it.
Yeah, I agree
He should be wearing some number that nobody of consequence has ever worn for the Giants…like, um, 25 or something.

I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THESE THINGS.
though I knew Sadler was white.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Sometimes, I think I am black.

Yabu will get out of this pressure situation
though facing Paulino and Bixler isn’t exactly like facing Manny and Ortiz
TW(H)OO!!!
Love how Miller renders the opposition GIDP.
That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!
Better advance him to the ML then. Hell, Both of them
